What's new in outdoor decor: Grill gazebos

Okay, so "grillzebo" isn't its official name, but it really should be.

This sturdy eight-by-five foot structure is designed to shelter your barbecue (and you!) from the elements. And, considering a recent study found that
33% of Canadians grill year-round, it could be a worthwhile all-seasons addition to to your patio or backyard. (Especially in light of the wacky spring weather we've had so far this year...)

What I love most about this piece are the bar-height counters on either side of the structure. Just like the kitchen inside the home, the barbeque is a natural spot for people to congregate, and this thoughtful little detail means that your guests can keep you company while you're grilling. So clever!

What's more, this grill gazebo boasts hanging storage for glassware, and a rack to keep all of your various grilling tools organized and close-at-hand.

Although this model will set you back $859 at Home Depot, it's on the higher-end of the spectrum. They're also offering less flashy (and admittedly, less substantial) grill gazebos in the Hampton Bay line for as little as $159.
